Shop without "Country" and "State"

This is probably a bit unusual... the shop I'm working on does not need "Country" and "State" input.
Is it possible to instruct FoxyCart to not request these fields?
If it is not possible, can I[ulist]
[li]somehow pre-fill the "Country" field with something else than "US"[/li]
[li]hide this pre-filled "Country" field[/li]
[li]still get the "State" field to display drop-down valid selections based on Country[/li]
[/ulist]
Thanks,
Phil

Country should be pre-filled with the country of the user automatically, using MaxMind's GeoIP database.
Once it's filled (which is automatic), you could easily hide it with CSS or jQuery.
State field will function as normal.

We at FoxyCart don't believe in the umlaute, Philby. Sorry about that. There's something about the little dots that just seems entirely too "cute", so we decided to ignore them.

Haha, just kidding. We've logged it as a bug, so it should be fixed at some point in the future. (How's that for vague?)
